Reality check + "cookies"

As I wiped off the counter tonight--with the smell of freshly baked "cookies" in the air, lunches made, homework done, and dinner in the oven--I couldn't help but feel so accomplished.

And then I had a reality check, because it was frozen pizza (with cheese that fell to the bottom of the oven and almost set the smoke alarm off) that was cold before Adam even made it home, and I had already had one huge #momfail of the day: I didn't make it to the bus stop in time from work so Aidan and Logan were upset and had to ride around for an extra 25 minutes until the end of the normal route (on the plus side, at least the bus driver doesn't leave them to roam the neighborhood by themselves...).

Clearly I'm in no danger of setting the bar too high for myself anytime soon. Oh well, at least I can console myself with relatively guilt-free banana oatmeal "cookies."

PS: It's just 3 really ripe bananas smushed up and mixed with a cup-ish of quick cook oats, a bit of cinnamon and some chocolate chips. Bake for 15 min at 350. Or just eat the batter, because it's almost better than the finished product.

  1. Those look like the perfect on-the-go breakfast!! Totally making those soon. Do you think subbing raisins for chocolate chips would be ok?

    1. Yes, totally! And/or chopped walnuts, almonds, etc.! I was going to do raisins to keep them more healthy, but Logan doesn't like raisins in things, just plain :)

    1. Sadly, I can't take credit for the idea. I don't remember exactly where I got the recipe, but I think it was pre-pinterest, lol :) I think maybe a friend passed it along from one of those healthy toddler recipe books? But it's super easy for sure!!

  5. oh yummy I must try these cookies!! Lately, with my hubby's work schedule, I feel accomplished if we're all alive and somewhat agreeable at the end of the night...sometimes it's not about being productive so much as it's about surviving!! :))
